Description

Melanotan I 10 mg

Buy Melanotan I 10 mg for laboratory research, supplied as lyophilized powder in one boxed 3 mL vial.

Melanotan I is a synthetic, linear peptide associated with the Nle4,D-Phe7 analog of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH).

Choose the correct melanocortin analog

The I in the name identifies this analog; it is not a size designation. Melanotan II has a different, cyclic structure. PT-141 is another distinct cyclic melanocortin ligand. Findings for one should not be assigned to the others simply because their names or receptor targets overlap.

In research notation, Nle identifies norleucine and D-Phe identifies the D form of phenylalanine. Those substitutions are part of the analog’s identity. Match the complete sequence, end groups and supplied form to the reference material before comparing experiments or calculating molar concentration.

What the original study examined

Sawyer and colleagues’ original study compared the modified analog with α-MSH in frog-skin bioassays and mouse melanoma enzyme measurements. The researchers also examined resistance to serum-enzyme degradation.

These are separate experimental observations: an enzyme response, a tissue response and degradation behavior answer different questions. The study helps explain the analog’s use in melanocortin research; it does not establish a human tanning outcome or a performance guarantee for this vial.

Check the material and lot records

Use COA & Documents to inspect the available batch reports and product files. Match the product name and lot, then check what each test actually measured. Chromatographic purity, identity and measured content are different results.

The 10 mg amount is not a solution concentration, and the 3 mL container capacity is not a preparation instruction. For solvent selection and handling or storage conditions, use records applicable to the supplied material and your laboratory method. A research powder and a formulated medicinal product are not interchangeable presentations.
